(Not-Actually-OOM: A few days ago, Gavroche and Sunshine come to the conclusion that it's better to show someone you're still their friend than abandon them when things get complicated. The trick is finding the right balance.)

When Sunshine comes in from the kitchen, today, she has a plate of food - a full meal, really - in addition to her tray of baked goods. The plate holds a sizable slice of broccoli-cheese quiche, a spinach and mixed greens salad with raspberries, feta cheese, candied pecans and a homemade vinaigrette dressing, and some toasted quinoa with carrots, sweet peppers, corn and caramelized onions. Though vegetarian, everything in it is a good source of iron and protein. On a smaller plate, for dessert, she includes one of her humongous cinnamon rolls.

She leaves the plate and cinnamon roll with with the bar, with instructions that they are for Jason Todd.

A peace offering, and a sign she doesn't want their friendship to be over, though she knows neither of them is probably ready to confront this yet. They'll work through it, though, eventually. That's what friends do.

Once the plate has been delivered to the Bar, Rae starts arranging her tray of baked goods for sale, and puts up a sign:

"Why would any put much salt in a cake?" Teja asks, stopping by her baked goods. "Are they not supposed to be sweet?"

This time, Graham knew that when his cell door clicked open, he wasn't dreaming. He had no chance of sleeping, didn't bother trying, didn't want to try. He'd been sitting up on his cot, back flat against the wall. When he wasn't seeing the floor, he was in a sunlit field in Hibbing, Minnesota.

When the door unlatched, he had the strange inkling it was because he'd wanted it to.

On the other side of it, he's not sure what to do. The clatter and voices of the bar don't feel like part of his mind, but still seem unreal. Or he feels unreal, walking through it, like he's not sure he's the one that's really there. Eventually, he stops in front of Rae's sign, reading it without looking to her.

"Mademoiselle Seddon." Olivier presents himself with a deep bow of respect, greeting her with the honour or Dr Lecter's esteem (He hasn't heard yet) "It would seem you have brought great bounty to the Bar. Everything smells most wondrous!"

Sonya's been too busy back home to have maybe more than a sandwich at meals back home, if she's able to make herself eat. When she arrives in milliways, she looks like one who hasn't really eaten in awhile.

Rae's food always smelled good, but it's sweet and she's not sure she could handle something sweet for the time being. "Anything with ginger in it?"

She wasn't sure about the chocolate cake, but something with ginger should help. Much as she was too busy to eat, she knew it was something she had to do.
